Entertaining and smashing sci-fi movie of the summer

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2013)

This is a badass robot against invading monsters or aliens movie that goes in a anime/manga style direction even when it comes to the style of dialogues. But it all works together well and it's a entertaining kick ass of a movie. You want to see huge gigantic robots fighting and bashing the hell out of the enemy. Well you will get plenty of that in this movie. Just when I thought this movie is coming close to an end it throws more stuff at the audiences but in a good way. When it comes to robots beating the crap out of stuff, the more the better as long as the story and effective cause is in motion. The story isn't anything gripping or emotional but it gets the job done for the most part. And the build up to the main battle might be a bit slow after the intro but the direction is good enough for the wait. The cast is alright with Charlie Hunnam being the weakest despite him being the main character, he is kinda bland in this movie. He just sort of reminded me of Jax Teller from "Sons of Anarchy" even the way he walks. This is a entertaining big movie that I wouldn't mind there being a sequel for. From Guillermo del Toro who directed this movie, claims there is still a lot of ideas he wanted to use but didn't have the budget for or fit the structure. So wants to show that if there is a chance for a sequel.
7.9/10
